When Coroner Jenny Cooper crashes her car one bright September morning, she finds her mind propelled back to the past . . .

Customer Reviews
What?
I was enjoying it a lot, really getting into the story which is surprising because I generally don’t enjoy fiction.
But then it ended abruptly and changes to another book?
The Innocent
All of M.R.Hall's novels are absorbing. If you have not read any of his other books, this could be a good one to start with as it is only 191 pages. Once you read one, you'll be looking out for the rest.
